Most good QBs have a "safety valve". Dallas Clark/Brandon Stokely ring any bells?

Yeah, sure. The funny thing is that Welker's number of receptions are insanely high for one guy - because he gets open and Brady targets him since Brady doesn't want to make plays down the field (I argue its because he doesn't have the skill to make those plays).

You keep calling him a "safety valve" which makes me think you don't know how football works.

I'm not going to launch into a debate over semantics involving the technical meaning of football terms. The idea is that Welker got open and gave Brady an option he often needed, and without that option Brady wouldn't look so "great" after all.

Your assumption that this Welker/Amendola guy is also always so wide open for Brady is also false. You watch every Pats game, you know that's not true.

No one is always open. Still, the numbers don't lie, and they say Brady threw the ball to Welker a great deal (look at his reception totals). If the Pats can't find someone to get open at least close to as often as Welker did, Brady will struggle, and I'll be glad when he does.

I've said it over and over, named many skills he doesn't possess and compared him to someone who is considered "great" who DOES possess that same skill, and no one has yet made a successful argument against it. All you do is insist he does have some of the skills and provide nothing to show it.

I even listed examples of plays made by other QBs that showed their skills, yet no one could offer a single description of one Brady play where HE made the play (not someone else bailing him out, not a blown defense, not a bad call, etc.).

If you want to disagree, go ahead. Describe a play Brady made himself and tell me how it shows his skills.

I described plays recently. You've also been shown plays in video form. You ignored them, which isn't shocking. Stats were listed to also help my argument. You dismiss them.

What I find funny is that Welker and the TEs make Brady look better than he his, yet I doubt bis can point out even one elite QB who has put up Brady-like numbers without a dominant wideout. Make Manning work with only TEs and a slot man and he'd put up worse numbers than Brady.
